Can you help us decide between Lucy and Sylvie?

[toomanydoughnuts]

I like Sylvie (or Silvie) but dh prefers Lucy and has yet to agree to Sylvie. Lucy is lovely but its very popular. Should I (can I?) hold out for Sylvie? She'll be sister to Susannah. Opinions please!

Lucy

The same initials for your dd's would be enough to put me off.

However I do Love LUCY!!

Sylvie is lovely. Doesn't go with our surname (almost rhymes) or else it would definitely have been a contender for DD. Lucy nice. Not that popular amongst littlies round here.

Sylvie is lovely. And yes, Lucy is lovely, but there are many, many, many little girls named Lucy where we are.

Also, for me, both names are cute for babies and little girls, but Sylvie seems more fitting for an adult woman than Lucy. Lucy on a grown woman, to my mind, anyway, is a bit twee.

Sylvie is lovely. Not sure about having two children with the same initial though. But, if you're not bothered by that I'd go for Sylvie.

Lucy every time. Classic, timeless and fits a woman or a child. Don't agree that it's twee on an adult, but that's as well as it's DD1's name.

Sylvie pretty and round these parts more popular than Lucy. I think it fits a child better than an adult but perhaps that's just me.

Susannah is gorgeous but I think S and Lucy better than S and Sylvie.

Lucy.

Not very keen on Sylvie.

I like Sylvie. DH's cousin has a DD called Sylvie. I like it that both DD (Alice) and Sylvie are named after DH's granny

And don't think that having the same initial matters.

Sylvie is really nice, don't know of any at DD's nursery or otherwise.

Both are lovely.

I only know 2 Lucys - age 6 and 38!

Love Lucy, not keen on Sylvie. Too much like Sylvia..old ladyish.

Lucy

I only know 2 Lucys - age 26 and 49.

I like Sylvie. Am not a fan of Lucy though I know many and most people seem to like it

There are a lot of girls named Lucy around here. So I'd go for Sylvie!

I once met a French prostitute called Sylvie. It's a long story.

I really like Sylvie-Lucy is very very popular but it is lovely too.

Sylvie is lovely.

Lucy is a bit wet. Too girly girly for my liking.

Slyvie is lovely. I know 6 Lucy's and 1 Lucie

Sorry meant to say sylvie

Lucy.

Love Sylvie! Lucy lovely too, but Sylvie more unusual and i think it goes beautifully with susannah (like that really matters?!)

Sylvie.

Can't stand Lucy sorry.

Love Sylvie - more sophisticated and more memorable than Lucy although I like Lucy too.

Think Sylvia on birth certificate would be good to give her options in future.

I personally don't think it matters to give sibs the same initials

They are both lovely names. I think I would choose Lucy though as I would feel as though I should have some French connections to use a French name like Sylvie.
By the way I love Susannah.
